Eleven
years ago, Lindsey Nash escaped into the night with her young daughter and left
an abusive relationship. Her ex-husband, Andrew, was sent to jail and Lindsey
started over with a new life.
Now,
Lindsey is older and wiser, with her own business and a teenage daughter who
needs her more than ever. When Andrew is finally released from prison, Lindsey
believes she has cut all ties and left the past behind her. But she gets the
sense that someone is watching her, tracking her every move. Her new boyfriend
is threatened. Her home is invaded, and her daughter is shadowed. Lindsey is
convinced it’s her ex-husband, even though he claims he’s a different person.
But has he really changed? Is the one who wants her dead closer to home than
she thought?
With Never
Let You Go, Chevy Stevens delivers a chilling, twisting thriller that crackles
with suspense as it explores the darkest heart of love and obsession.
Never Let You Go captured me once it was clear the Lindsey was no
TSTL protagonist. There is never a time
when the reader wants to throw the book at the wall because its heroine makes
stupid choices or refuses to see the danger in front of her. From the first
chapter on, Stevens assures us that Lindsey is a strong, sensible and capable
woman who does everything she’s supposed to at the first inkling of something
wrong. “Everything she’s supposed to” – and yet time and again dark obsession
finds her and refuses to let go.
The novel
opens with Lindsey enjoying an independent and satisfying life 10 years after
her abusive husband got sent away to prison. But now he’s out and he has come
straight to the island she and her daughter have been enjoying as refuge.
The reader knows that a dangerous confrontation is inevitable
but the how the story gets there is an uneasy and twist-filled journey. Safe to
say – I was on the edge of my seat, reading as fast as possible to get to the
final act. Just when you think you know what’s going to happen, just when you
think you know all there is to know – the story gathers speed and races to its
deadly denouement.
